    Needed a new controller and found a good deal on this controller, as it was open box and still in excellent condition. Instantly became my favorite controller, as red is my favorite color. Controller is comfortable and easy to use. A plus is the usb c adapter that you can use to turn it into a wired controller if you run out of batteries. Another plus is the Bluetooth capability, which always it to connect to my phone to use the xbox game pass streaming services.
